vw/audi is very touchy feely about stuff you pour in their hardware.
the manual transaxle fluid is about $33 a liter.

I dunno how much their motor oil cost, i just have 5w40 synthetic
poured in it.

I watched in amazement when a guy up in the hills by I-35 and I-9
crossing (gated community, who knows how many acres of land included)
drained all the coolant from his bike right on the grass.
My jaw dropped. I was under the assumption that if you have
a multimillion dollar house with vista views you'd at least bother to
shovel a catch pan
underneath. i guess he does not keep cats. made me wonder what his
sexual
orientation was after the incident.

i guess i'd never understand the wealthy

I have no idea if a bike uses the propylene glycol or, maybe dexcool.
And, i THINK, newer formulations og ethylene glycol put a 'bittering
agent' in the stuff to help prevent ingestion. But, a lot of older
cars may still have the toxic stuff in them, plus, a lot of jugs of
the older stuff may still be in folks' garages. Even some of the
additives in the propylene glycol might have serious side effects -
dunno.

be safe out there!
